Training and research for the integrated management of banana´s black sigatoka in Latin America and the Caribbean

The control of black Sigatoka in banana crops was studied through four lines of work: High-density cultivation and use of fungicides. The higher density increased the height of the plants, lengthened the production cycle and contributed to weed control. Bunch weight was lower without affecting the number and size of fruits. Neither infection nor fungicide use increased with the higher density. Pr...

Use of papaya genetic resources for their improvement and promotion

Germplasm (226 accessions) from the genera Carica, Vasconcellea and Jacaratia was collected in Ecuador and Colombia and planted in the field for its morphological characterization. CIAT established the drying and seed imbibition curves and showed that they withstand drying up to 5-11% without loss of viability and storage at temperatures of 22 to -196°C. The most common and economically important...
